Tactical Problem:  Hit a person with the ball, try not to get hit

Skill Development:  Aiming at a moving target, dodging, movement in all directions
 
 

Teaching Points Tactic: Spatial awareness of where attackers are (looking around a lot) Don't stand in one place too long with back facing others Skill: Changing directions quickly Watch the target as you are throwing

Organizational Points Use three nerf balls (or any other soft balls) Player holding the ball cannot take more than three steps to throw the ball They can throw the ball at anyone as there are no teams If you get hit (not in the head) you must sit down where you got hit If the opposing player catches the ball the thrower must sit from the point of the throw If the ball bounces on the ground and hits them they remain in the game players who are sitting are still in the game as they can tag those who are running by and they have to sit down as well those who are on the ground can also get back up if they are able to get a ball and hit someone who is still in the game.  The person who is hit exchanges positions with the person that was on the ground The game is played for a certain length of time or until only one person is left standing The whole gym can be used Reference game: http://pazz.tripod.com/nyscat.htm - Dan Feldman NYC board of education
